In an interview with Construction Digital, Alexander Rankin of GRC Architects discusses sustainability, collaboration and the factors that drive the firm to success.The 25-year-old firm, with a proven record of excellence and satisfied clients, is currently run by partners Rankin, John Cook and new partner Martin Tite, who replaced Tony Griffiths when he retired. Though the firm specializes in public projects in Canada, it has completed a variety of projects all over the world.
"We've always been here in Ottawa," says Rankin in the article. GRC Architects has worked on projects in every province of Canada, except Prince Edward Island, and has worked in countries including Malawi, England, Ireland and Jamaica. " The practice in Ottawa gives you a fairly unique position through parties such as foreign affairs to be
able to do work abroad," he says.
"We've definitely found that over the years, having a broad spectrum of client types and projects is the best principle," says Rankin. " It also produces, in many ways, the best architecture because you' re borrowing from the expertise you learn in one project type to help another project type."
